ENGINE RUN-ON, DIESELING -- RO-101. DIESELING, that nasty tendency of an engine to continue to run on, coughing and sputtering, after the ignition is turned off and there is no more spark. Run-on by dieseling is caused by fuel in engine igniting without spark. Possible explanations: a.) Running winter fuel in warm weather.
Why does a car's engine get hot? Why does a car's engine get hot when it is running? A car's engine is not efficient. The engine works by converting chemical energy in the form of fuel to the mechanical energy (work) that drives the wheels and makes the car move. But only about 20 to 30 percent of the chemical energy is actually converted to mechanical energy.
